Book
Doctors in denial : why big pharma and the Canadian medical profession are too close for comfort / Joel Lexchin, MD, Professor Emeritus, School of Health Policy and Management York University and Emergency Physician, University Health Network and Associate Professor, Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of Toronto ; foreward by Dr. Brian Goldman of CBC Radio's White Coat, Black Art.
"Doctors in Denial examines the relationship between the Canadian medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry, and explains how doctors have become dependents of the drug companies instead of champions of patients' health. Big Pharma plays a role in every aspect of doctors' work. These giant, wealthy multinationals influence how medical students are trained and receive information, how research is done in hospitals and universities, what is published in leading medical journals, what drugs are approved, and what patients expect when they go into their doctors' offices. But almost all doctors deny the influence and control the drug companies exert. In this book Dr. Lexchin urges the medical profession to make the changes needed to give priority to protecting and promoting patients' health and benefitting society, rather than enabling Big Pharma to dominate health care while raking in billions in profits from citizens and governments."--Provided by publisher.
